How this adds up
This home's price for this service; the lines behind it are not on this page yet$3,890
1 certified copy of the death certificate$25
Sum$3,915

This covers local removal, care of remains, transportation to crematory, basic services of staff & authorizations and if you want to arrange a direct cremation, you can use an alternative container. The containers we provide are: Fiberboard or Plastic. It does not cover holding the body beyond the days this list includes and additional certified copies of the death certificate beyond what the figure above already includes, which are priced one at a time. The county permit fee belongs to the county where the death occurred, not the county where the funeral home is, so pick that county below or ask the funeral home. Any sales tax is approximate, so ask the funeral home for the exact amount.

The figure above adds one certified copy of the death certificate at $25 to this home's own price.

These figures are ballparks for comparing homes, not quotes.

These figures are assembled from this home's own posted price list, and each one is rounded up to the next $5. Treat them as a way to compare homes, not as a quote. Only the funeral home can quote you.

What the county fee is

This fee is charged by the county where the death occurred, not the county where the funeral home is. A family using a King County funeral home for a death that happened in Snohomish County pays the Snohomish County fee. Pick the county of death to know the amount.

In this list: in WA, Snohomish County at $15, King County and Pierce County at $100 and 6 counties with no fee on file here; in ID, 13 counties charging no fee; in OR, 13 counties at $30. A county not in this list charges something too; ask that county or the funeral home.

The counties of the states this one touches are in the list too, each one labeled with its state, because a death does not stop at a state line.

Certified copies of the death certificate

One certified copy of the death certificate is included in every figure on this page.

This home's list does not post a price for a certified copy of the death certificate. Washington charges $25 for one, so that is the figure below. This is what the record itself costs. Ask the funeral home whether it charges anything to order them for you.

How many certified copies do you need?

Most families need more than one. Raising the count raises every figure on this page.

One certified copy is $25.

Nobody can tell you how many you will need. Banks, insurers, and pension offices each tend to want their own, so families commonly order several. Set the count and the line says what that comes to.

Tax is always approximate. Ask the funeral home for the exact amount.
